          I'm not doing that! I dont care what you say!" I (Ragan) reply

          "You will do what I pay you to do. You've been my servant for a long time"

          "I serve the money only, not you Ragan" "YOU WILL SHUT YOUR MOUTH OR SERVE NOTHING BUT MY GUILITINE! You WILL stand here, and when and if Danny makes it passed our thirteen thousand soldiers and into this room, you WILL make him think I've catpured you and hold you hostage and then you WILL kill him!"

          "Sounds like the works of the afraid."

          "I know my uncle can kill me, in many different ways, but you know how he fights, you've seen how he acts, you can defeat him and you will!"

          "My reward?"

          "Your reward will be five solid gold swords of which you can barter or keep, I care not, along with one of Dannys Legendary swords."

          "And?"

          "And you may leave peacable and never be bothered again."

          "And?"

          "AND I WILL NOT KILL YOU!"

           "I will kill Danny, But I will not betray him in such an insulting way. Ragan you cant kill me because you need me, I've no family to threaten. You have nothing and Danny has to die, and I'm the only man that can do it." I'll wait, and if he makes it I'll kill him and give you the head."

          "And what if he kills you?"

          "He cant kill me"

          "But humor me."

          "Then you might need to find a back up plan, or consider running now. If you come out of this room alive will be nothing short of ordained by a god. Just then a squire enters the room. Sire, an army is gathering on the northern horizon."

          "Its been nearly five months. Make ready the troops, and get my armor. Its time for war!"
